Am I asking too much ?? Or what am I doing ??

I’ll start with a backstory .. my boyfriend and I never graduated high school . He has a learning disability but knows his way around fixing transmissions and fixing vehicles .. I just . Got pregnant and dropped out and never went back. We have a 7 year old together .. my boyfriend adores our son and my son prefers to hang out with his dad all the time .. I told my boyfriend the other night I don’t want our son to be like us.. and he was like “what’s wrong with that”? .. I told him in a roundabout way that I want our son to graduate and go to college . And we started arguing .. in the end I hurt his feelings I know I did .. because when he chooses to be alone and sit in his truck all night I know it ..he’s the mechanic making twice what I make .. and I’m just a cashier .. but I would like for us both to agree that our son deserves more then what we both are .. idk.. maybe I should just shut up about it ?

Just cross that bridge when you get to it. Make sure he gets the best schooling that you can give him, and teach him at home as well. Both my daughters were reading at 3. I cannot tell you how many workbooks ive ordered to get them ready for their current grades and the grade that they would be in that next year year when they were smaller. I use ThriftBooks, It paid off they are both in college now. When the youngest was in preschool her teacher called me and asked if she could help teach the class, to teach other kids to read. I was so proud. Let him decide when he becomes college age.
